Do you crave a good night's sleep? It doesn't matter how comfortable your mattress is or how perfect the temperature is if you've got pesky Bed Bugs keeping you up at night. These blood-sucking creatures who feed on you as you sleep are the stuff nightmares are made of. Fossils have found this scourge originated over
. It is believed these insidious insects first appeared somewhere along the Mediterranean caves, living off of bats.
Unfortunately, humans and mammals have transported these
bugs
unknowingly on their bodies for hundreds of thousands of years, leading to the infestations being so widespread. They are constantly on the hunt for blood and will grip on to your skin using its long tubed mouth to probe until it finds the best place to bite. When they are ready, they will sink their teeth into your skin, with toothed mandibles that snip like scissors. Their saliva contains pain-killers and anti-coagulants, so you don't feel the bite, and the blood flows smoothly. They will then feast on you for up to eight minutes, causing their bodies to expand up to three times in size. When full, these creepy creatures quickly scurry away, leaving you with a nasty bite mark. You may even notice a line of bite marks along your skin from multiple Bed Bugs feasting on you at once.
Some other signs that you may have a Bed Bug infestation are rashes, itchy skin, and the feeling that something is continually crawling on you.
Mental health is also affected
as anxiety and insomnia increase from the infestation.
It's challenging to get rid of these unwanted pests, because they are so small and almost impossible to see. They also multiply rapidly and can each live up to about 550 days. Trying to clean your home, treating your mattress, and furniture on your own can be a tough task. Bed Bugs will quickly run and hide in tiny crevices or cracks. Not only do you need to treat your linens and furniture, but even the walls, wallpaper, and carpets. They have also developed immunities to over the counter pesticides.
In the past, when humans struggled to find ways to eradicate these creatures, they turned to some
unusual methods
such as smoking them out with peat fires and using boiling water to sterilize furniture. Cyanide fumigation was also used and turned out to have very deadly consequences for humans.
